In this study, neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy was found to reduce tumor volume, cause pathological downstaging, and raise the surgical resection rate of patients with locally advanced NSCLC, and achieve a 100% R0 resection rate. There was an acceptable rate of postoperative complications. Thus, neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy is safe and practical.
